Brendan Rodgers admits an away win in the Champions League is the next big step for his Celtic team.
The Hoops boss spoke to the media in Croatia this evening ahead of tomorrow night's European fixture against Dinamo Zagreb.
It was put to the 51-year-old that the Scottish Premiership champions have ticked several boxes on the continent so far this season, including; getting big wins at Parkhead and a point in Bergamo against Atalanta.
He was asked if a victory on the road was the next target.
"Yeah, I think so," the Northern Irishman responded. "I think it's one where from last year we've been building towards performance level and results and this year we've been fairly consistent with that in the main and to win away from home because you know what it means to supporters as well as the points.
"You know that an away win at any level, but in particular in the Champions League, it's a difficult challenge but it's one that gives a real good feeling. So, for us, it's the next step.
"As you say, you go to Atalanta and you defend how we did there, that gives you big confidence to know that you can go into any stadium and defend well.

"For us, we hope that we can then bring our attack into the game alongside that, and we know that when we do that it gives us an opportunity to get that win. You know what it takes to do it."
He added: "I think working with this group now and this team over the last 15, 16 months, whatever it is, I feel that we're in a really, really good place and I know we can arrive into these games now having made some big performances that we feel can get us big results at the level.
"So, yeah, having won in Anderlecht in 2017, that was a great night for the team and the support.
"We would like to give ourselves the best opportunity we can and to do that is to look to win our next game and it's away from home. So, we want to take that chance to do that."
